Eaton SMART2200RMXL2U – 2200VA Rack-Mount UPS for AV Racks

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART2200RMXL2U is a 2200VA/1920W line-interactive UPS designed as a rack-mount UPS for AV rack deployments protecting servers, network switches, matrix switchers, and control processors. It is a solid choice for a commercial UPS battery backup installation in a conference room AV rack, broadcast equipment rack, or data closet where uptime for network-attached devices is critical. Built-in AVR corrects brownouts and overvoltages without switching to battery, and dual switched load banks let integrators schedule remote reboots of non-critical equipment. At 2U, it fits standard 19-inch rack enclosures without consuming excessive rack space that could otherwise house AV processing gear.

Product Description

The SMART2200RMXL2U is built for network-grade power protection in commercial AV and IT racks, combining line-interactive AVR with an interactive LCD interface that reports UPS operating mode, site power quality, and configuration options directly at the rack. As a rack-mount UPS for AV rack installations, it protects control processors, network switches, matrix switchers, and streaming encoders commonly found in conference room and broadcast equipment racks. Two independent levels of voltage boost correct both slight undervoltages and severe brownouts, which matters in older commercial buildings with inconsistent utility power. Switchover from line to battery power occurs within milliseconds, keeping connected AV and network equipment running without interruption or reboot during short outages. Communication options include USB, RS-232, and a slot for an optional network management card, supporting a network management UPS with SNMP card deployment for facilities that monitor power infrastructure centrally. Two independently switched load banks let facilities staff perform scheduled or remote reboots and shed non-critical loads without physically accessing the rack. The LCD panel rotates for readability in both rack-mount and tower orientation, useful when the same model is deployed across different room configurations. Field-replaceable, hot-swappable battery modules simplify maintenance without requiring the UPS to be pulled from the rack. This unit is well suited as an extended run UPS for data closet or AV rack applications where connecting external battery packs later is a likely upgrade path.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the SMART2200RMXL2U fit a standard 19-inch AV rack?

Yes. It occupies 2U of vertical rack space and is designed for standard 19-inch rack enclosures, with a minimum rack depth of 23 inches required.

Can I add a network management card for remote monitoring?

Yes. The unit includes a slot for an optional network management card in addition to built-in USB and RS-232 communication ports.

Does this UPS support remote reboot of individual outlets?

Yes. Two independently switched load banks allow scheduled or remote reboot and load shedding of connected equipment without physical access to the rack.

Can I extend the runtime with an external battery pack?

Yes, this model supports optional external battery packs for extended runtime beyond the internal battery's rated capacity. Contact Creation Networks to confirm compatible battery pack models.

What is the switchover time to battery power?

Transfer from line power to battery occurs within approximately 5 milliseconds, fast enough to keep most AV and networking equipment running without a reboot.

What warranty coverage comes with this UPS?

The SMART2200RMXL2U carries a 2-year warranty extendable to 3 years with registration, plus $250,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.

Is professional installation required for a commercial AV rack deployment?

While the unit itself installs like standard rack-mount equipment, Creation Networks recommends coordination with your AV integrator to properly size connected load and configure network monitoring for your rack.
